Busy Time

What a busy time it is in the run up to Christmas, presents to buy and wrap, cards to write and post, food to plan etc etc,  how do we find time to finish sewing the items planned as presents.

Just managed to finish this little trio that I've made for my friend for Christmas who I am seeing tomorrow.

Its from a pattern purchased from Daisy Chain Designs www.daisychaindesigns.co.uk  Its a little draw string basket with needle case and pin cushion (I've done my own version of the pin cushion as I ran out of time).

I used fabric from the Downton Abbey range - The Dowager Collection.

The Hexagons were done in the traditional English patchwork tradition over papers then appliqued onto the main fabric.
